Doesn't matter if that's what you think. Do it anyway. Don't count that out. Open that thing up ALL the way and shoot it. If you DON'T do that, you don't know about your gas port sizing. You're guessing, without doing that.

"Spirited" wasn't an accurate description of how it went down here. Their "top secret gas port" information was directly laughed off, when the information is readily available - and we showed them that. Their "top secret" gas port sizing is wildly off the mark, and WAY undersized. But, what do we know...

This was a long-going conversation. Apparently, it was always "coming soon." Hop into the Intro Section and tell us about yourself. In case you missed it, here was the last blow-up over this...

THAT, we DO.

Decision made. http://soldiersystems.net/2018/03/23/ussocom-adopts-6-5-cm/ We will see ALOT more 6.5 Creedmoor AR questions here now. Count on it.

Do, doesn't seem like a gas issue at all. I was wondering about the mags, possibly a new-mag issue, but that doesn't seem to be it either (exact same issue with two completely different magazines). The extractor spring replacement is the logical choice here, and Sprinco is pure quality. Your course of action makes perfect sense.

Security changes made and implemented at Parkland, and many students aren't happy... https://www.dailywire.com/news/28609/watch-parkland-student-complains-clear-backbacks-ryan-saavedra https://www.dailywire.com/news/28566/backfire-broward-county-implements-solution-school-ryan-saavedra

Well, then it wasn't burned up packing lube in it that gummed it up... There goes my possible theory... Happen on just one particular magazine?

When you click those a few times, it enlarges the pics, makes it readable.

Thank you, Jeff Sessions. You redefined "Machinegun."

Did you clean the chamber and barrel, brand new, before you fired it the first time?...

Two choices, as I see it. Keep the 10oz buffer and take that port size up to 0.100", or switch back to the 5oz buffer. I doubt you'd have to go over 0.100", but you do have adjustable gas. 0.125" is the max you can go.

After 2000 rounds, none. Carbon has sealed that system up. Did all this start occurring after the addition of the 10oz buffer?

It is true. That's right out of the promotion board study guide material, right there. All fact.

18" rifle gas barrel? I just looked through this thread again, and there's no mention of the barrel info.

That had to be it!!!

So does The Chicken Eater! Isn't that what he won? Where the hell is Angel?...

You should have already bought it LAST week! Not me. Well, a little, but alot less than you other guys... You guys ever hear about how this jackass outshot me with my own pistol?...

Same/same. You need to put it in the boiler room for it to work right. Animals aren't armor plated, unless you're hunting a damn rhino, hippo or elephant. You don't lung/heart/CNS any of them, and they won't drop DRT. If you only lung them, they run, until they can't run anymore. You don't hit any of those three, then they'll run until they bleed out or shock out. Then they just lay down.

Would depend on my use for the 62 / SS109 projectile. If it's for steel or target use, no way. First, that shiit will jack your steel up. It does leave bigger divots on AR500 plate. The stories are real... You can walk up and look at your plates, and immediately shout, "WHAT ASSHEAD IS SHOOTING GREEN TIPS?!!?" For strictly target use, there are other, better bullets that are cheaper than SS109 projectiles. So, for those two things, nope. For other uses, barrier use, targets heavily clothed, etc, then hell yeah. Again, there are other projectiles that are better at barrier penetration, or better in terminal ballistics than SS109 - but not for the price you can get it at. So, that's the other range of the spectrum on it, IMHO. It's a great projectile, depending on your intended use, for it's price. It's also weird, due to the steel core - you should be shooting this thing from a 1:7" barrel, because of that, to get it all-around stabile for it's intended use. When you shoot it through a 1:7" twist, it's pretty accurate, when you do your part. You can see the difference in performance of it going through 1:7" and 1:8". For the record, I have a case of SS109 stashed away. This is the 62gr 5.56 stuff to start finding: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2010/06/u-s-army-issues-new-m855a1-ammo-to-troops-in-afghanistan/ On the 55gr methodology - I can load up my load of 55gr Hornady FMJ BT and shoot that through my 1:8" Mk12 Mod0 and easily centermass steel silhouettes at 600 yards. The terminal performance might not be there at that distance, but it works for range use and training, and it's cheap, and readily available. For the record, it really starts to SUCK when you try to shoot it at 700 yards. Bad. Anything over 600 yards gets the Hornady 75gr BTHPs launched at it.

55, just because they're easier to find. They're everywhere. Between a 55 and 62, same construction, there's not gonna be a speed or power difference that's really worth anything, one over the other. My $0.02.

Welcome! That's a good introduction!

Those steaks were ridiculous. I don't know what my step-dad was thinking...

I'm floored. We're neighbors, and everything, I get it. Something from another country (US) just affected your gun ownership,in your country (CA). You guys gotta vote your reps out, just like we need to vote alot of them out.

Did that just pass, and just happen to you?
